This week on Honest to God, we discuss how music is more than just a background track to our lives; it has a profound impact on our emotions, our bodies, and our spiritual well-being. It can make you feel something powerful, from joy and courage to deep sadness. In this video, we explore how music, a gift from God, is meant to lead us to the good and the beautiful. We'll discuss: The Role of Emotion: All emotions (except despair) have a place. Even Jesus expressed anger and sadness. Music is the fuel for these God-given feelings. Music & Your Body: Did you know that a song's rhythm can physically change your body's chemistry? We'll break down why music with a beat faster than your heart releases adrenaline, and why the music at Mass is intentionally different—designed for calm, reflection, and receiving the beauty of the mystery. Two Critical Questions: When choosing what to listen to, it's not enough for a song to just "sound good." We must also ask: "Is it good for me?" A Tool for Good or Evil: God created music to uplift us and bring us closer to Him. But the Devil can use the very same tool to draw us into lifestyles and mindsets that are harmful. Is your playlist building you up or tearing you down? It's time to be more intentional about the music we let into our lives. What songs make you feel closer to God? Share them in the comments below!
